2.- Michael Beasley. I've seen a couple of Miami games, so I've got more to say than about Rose. Beasly looks like a scoring machine and decent rebounder who has no clue about what to do on defense. That's keeping him out on 4th quarters.

3.- O.J. Mayo. Great scorer. Not much else.

4.- Eric Gordon. Looks like the real deal. I think he's ready to start and contribute, doing a bit of everything. Really intense player. I like him a lot.

5.- Darrell Arthur. Good rebounder and decent defender. Might develop into a good role player.

6.- Marc Gasol. Already knew him. Great rebounder, good defender (although still adapting to the speed of the game), can score in the low post. Would look much better in a different kind of team. Memphis is just too anarchic for him.

7.- Rudy Fernandez. Same as Marc, I've seen him enough playing here. And he keeps doing the same. Scoring, rebounding, always being the first on fast breaks, good on steals, although he has to improve in other areas of his D. He's having a great year so far. On the bad side, he's an almost developed product. He'll improve a bit, once he gets more adapted to the NBA game, but what you see is what you get with him. Don't look for any hidden potential.

8.- Nicolas Batum. I didn't know Ime Udoka was still playing for the Blazers.

9.- Mario Chalmers. Good defender, great on steals, decent passer... doesn't help much on offense, tho. I think Miami counted on him being more of a factor with his outside shooting, but so far, he's been anything but accurate.

10.- Mike Taylor. Um... plays for the Clips. I've seen like two minutes of him, so don't ask.

1. Rose....great scorer handles ball well....not playing like a rookie PG
2. Mayo....(yes before beasley) Good Scorer
3. Beasley....he has been benched latley in the 4th Q because of his D other than that hes good on offense and his defense will come
4. Gasol
5. Oden...i have a feeling hell move up soon
6. Anthony Morrow!!!!! i hope this kid keeps up what hes doing to help out my warriors

Thank you NBA League Pass.... I am fortunate enough to watch a lot of these rookies every night. Here are my seven, in PARTICULAR ORDER:

1- Rose - Lighting quick, every night he brings it, and is capable of clutch shots at the end of game. Not one can stay in front of him, as seen in the GSW game. I like him a lot, can work on defense a little more, and a suspect 3 pt shooter. These areas can be taught.

2- Jason Thompson - Maybe Nelly was setting up other teams or MAYBE he is just that good. Guy is a beast in my opinion. Excellent feel of the low post game, and understands the game from a basketball standpoint. High BBALL IQ...

3- Beasley - Joe Smith CLONE.... Its not a bad thing but that is what you get....

4- OJ Mayo - Better pro than college. Understands the game and has a Dwayne Wade type game. I think he should be a PG rather than a SG but he is at worst Larry Hughes but at best, Wade.... I like his game

5- Oden - I consider him to be a rookie and I am VERY impress with his defense. Game speed is something he needs to work on. I watched several games and he is lasting longer and longer without getting winded. He will inevitably start and play 25-30 a game. Defensively he gets it. He protects the middle and alters ALOT of shots. Rebounding is also very easy for him, understand positioning, and he is def a #1 pick.

6 - Rudy - He might be a finish product but so what. Everyone says he is fearless and I see why. Plays D, he should probably start on any other team. Love watching him play the game.

7 - Javale McGee - DONT MISTAKE HIM FOR POB.. Guy is much more active and aggressive. Excellent pick up for Wizards. I think he would of been a perfect compliment to AB... Blocks shots, puts backs, and plays LONG....
